The Canon MG8270 saves you from the hassle of maintaining separate machines to print, copy, and scan pages because it has the capability to perform all of these tasks.

The multifunction unit boasts a hybrid ink system that comprises six ink cartridges to improve print quality. These are individual inks, so you won’t ever encounter a situation where you have to throw away unused ink when one color runs out.

Features and Highlights

Dye and Pigment Inks

In addition to five colors ink, the Canon MG8270 has two black inks. One is a pigment-based ink and the other is a dye-based ink. The rest are cyan, magenta, yellow, and gray inks.

Each ink cartridge has a different page yield, which depends on what you print. For example, the dye-based CLI-726BK has a page yield of more than two thousand prints if you print documents, but the page yield will drop significantly to approximately 820 sheets if you use it to print 4R photos.

If you print by using the original ink, your prints might be able to last longer than if you use third-party ink brands. Canon claims that the original inks, combined with the technologies embedded in the printer, can produce prints that can last up to 300 years.

Three Input Trays

Instead of just one input tray as most entry-level printers provide, the Canon MG8270 is equipped with three input trays that comprises two paper trays and one disc tray.

The paper trays include one vertical tray in back and one drawer in front. Even though they are different in shape, they have the same capacity that allows you to load up to 150 sheets at a time. As for the disc tray, it lets you print directly on a CD or DVD disc.

Automatic Duplexing

The consumer-oriented multifunction printer can do more than just automatic duplex printing. It also offers duplex scanning and copying.

Duplexing allows you to save on paper. And since it can be done automatically, it also helps you save time as you don’t need to flip each page manually. This can also improve your productivity a bit.

Wireless Printing

In addition to Ethernet that allows multiple users to use the printer via a network, it also supports Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n. This means you can print from a laptop without using a USB cable to connect to the printer. And you can also print from a Bluetooth-enabled device if you want to as long as you don’t mind paying to install an optional Bluetooth module BU-30.
